Tiivistelmä
The Purpose of making a Guide for Organizing Ice Hockey Events was to create an easy following guide for students at Vierumäki and other people as well interested in such area of work. The authors have a strong background in organizing and working and volunteering at various ice hockey events in the past. The idea was to create a booklet that can be used as a guideline anytime someone is going to take on the huge task of organizing a hockey event, big or small.
There are not too many event planning manuals out there, especially when it comes to ones specific for sports and ice hockey. The starting point for this manual was to create a manual specific for sport events, with the main focus being ice hockey. The manual involves overall advices and also many specific hints and tips when working with ice hockey. The market for hockey events; camps, tournaments, summer leagues, etc. has been showing an growing rate lately, all over the ice hockey world.
The authors have been part of the organizing committee for such events as The IIHF World Championships 2008, The IIHF World Junior Championships 2009, Olympic games in Vancouver 2010 and also Mr. Maclean has invented his own league in Nova Scotia, Canada. The manual contains information from the authors´ own experiences and from reports of the past events they have attended, as well as from different event and leadership literature.
The Guide consists of eight different chapters. It explains the meaning of Creative work and preparation, site-selection, budget and logistics, staffing, marketing, pre-event preparation, execution of event, and post-event actions.
The project of writing the guide was started in fall 2009 and it was finished in early spring 2010.
This manual was written in English so that it can be most effective for the use of international student and so that it would be most applicable around the ice hockey world.
This manual gives an effective tool and a good guideline for anyone organizing an ice hockey event.
